Definitions
- This invention relates to an interactive toy for toddlers and preschoolers.
- Wooden knob puzzles are popular toys for toddlers and preschoolers. They are thick, wooden puzzles with pieces that are removed with a knob. The pieces have open areas with graphics that match graphics on a corresponding piece that the child can use as a cue to return it to its place. These puzzles encourage hand-eye coordination and visual perception skills.
- 3D jigsaw puzzles which are typically made for adults with hundreds of pieces that make them complicated and time-consuming to assemble. Pieces are connected using either a dovetail or box joint at the corners and a jigsaw puzzle type locking system for the flat areas.
- 3D puzzles are often made from thin wood which often requires more complicated mechanisms for assembly.
- 3D puzzles are generally not made for young children because of their high number of pieces and complex assembly.
- a toy having a theme comprises a puzzle including first pieces, second pieces and a frame support.
- the first pieces are configured to be assembled into a three-dimensional structure.
- Each of the first pieces includes at a tab or a hole.
- the hole is sized and shaped to receive the tab of another one of the pieces.
- Each of the second pieces are configured to interactively cooperate with the three-dimensional set piece.
- Each of the first and second pieces also includes a graphic image associated with the theme of the toy.
- the frame support is substantially flat with a first side having recesses for receiving each of the first and second pieces.
- the frame support also has a second side, opposite the first side having a graphic image associated with the theme of the toy.
- Embodiments of this aspect of the invention may include one or more of the following features.
- Each of the recesses on the first side of the frame support being sized and shaped commensurately with the size and shape of the first pieces and the second pieces.
- the first side of the frame support side having a graphic image associated with the theme of the toy.
- the graphic images of the plurality of first pieces for forming the three-dimensional structure are representative of a set piece.
- the graphic images of the plurality of second pieces are representative of characters.
- the graphic image on the second side of the frame support is representative of a stage. The stage is representative of the environment of the theme of the toy.
- the first pieces, the second pieces, and the frame support are each formed of a laminate including: a substantially rigid substrate; and a layer of high-density foam overlying the substrate.
- the substantially rigid substrate is formed of cardboard.
- the high-density foam is formed of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA).
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the interactive toy in its packaged state.
- FIG. 2 is an isometric view of the interactive toy of FIG. 1 with pieces of the toy removed from its support frame.
- FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the interactive toy of FIG. 1 in its assembled state.
- FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the interactive toy of FIG. 1 showing the various layers used in the construction of the pieces of the toy.
- toy 10 as would be available to a consumer and shown as packaged with a promotional card 16 , which describes the toy.
- toy 10 includes a frame support 12 holding multiple pieces 20 .
- the toy 10 is spaceship themed.
- the pieces 20 include individual character dolls 22 , as well as a three-dimensional puzzle, which when assembled forms an assembled spaceship 40 (see FIG. 3 ).
- the spaceship 40 includes outer side sections 46 , 48 that form a fuselage of the spaceship 40 as well as internal floor sections 42 , 44 positioned between the outer side sections.
- Frame support 12 of toy 10 serves as both a playing surface for the assembled spaceship 40 and character dolls 22 , while also serving as a self-contained storage for the character dolls 22 and the disassembled pieces of the spaceship 40 (i.e., outer side sections 46 , 48 and internal floor sections 42 , 44 ).
- Frame support 12 whose construction is described in greater detail below, includes a laminate base having graphics/artwork on its front side and back side.
- the top surface 12 a of the frame support illustrates artwork/images matching the individual pieces 20 that in combination with the shape of the openings on the top surface 12 a , give a consumer, particularly a child, an indication as to where each of the pieces fit in the top surface 12 a of the frame support 12 .
- spaceship 40 includes outer side sections 46 , 48 , which extend from fins 50 at a bottom end to a nose cone 52 at the top end of the fuselage 41 of the spaceship 40 .
- the outer side sections 46 , 48 include holes 49 near the top end and bottom end of each side.
- the internal floor sections include tabs 51 on left and right side of the section.
- the holes 49 of outer side sections 46 and 48 and the tabs 51 of internal floor sections 42 and 44 are made from a composite of high-density EVA foam.
- the holes 49 of the outer side sections are slightly undersized so that a corresponding tab 51 from the internal floor sections is compressed while being pressed into the hole, and it can expand once it is in place to form a tight fit.
- the toy 10 includes a foam layer 32 having sufficient thickness (e.g., 4-10 mm) to provide sufficient rigidity and stability to be handled by a toddler as a toy piece.
- the foam layer is also sufficiently resilient to allow the pieces to be connected to each other.
- a front-facing layer 24 a and a rear-facing layer 24 b are each formed of cardstock with a thickness in a range, for example, of .25 mm to .5 mm.
- Front-facing layer 24 a and rear-facing layer 24 b are adhesively backed for attachment to opposite sides of foam layer 32 .
- Each of front-facing layer 24 a and rear-facing layer 24 b have graphics consistent with the individual toy pieces.
- the front-facing layer 24 a and rear-facing layer 24 b of character dolls 22 include graphics for different astronaut characters.
- front-facing layer 24 a and rear-facing layer 24 b of the outer side sections 46 , 48 and internal floor sections 42 , 44 include graphics depicting parts of the body of spaceship 40 .
- the graphics used for the front-facing layer 24 a and rear-facing layer 24 b pieces are different.
- outer side sections 46 , 48 include a side having graphics depicting the outside of the spaceship fuselage while the opposite includes graphics depicting the inside of the spaceship.
- the graphics on each side may be mirror images of each other.
- tabs 51 of the pieces do not include the cardstock material of the front-facing layer 24 a and a rear-facing layer 24 b .
- margined areas surrounding holes 49 of outer side sections 46 , 48 do not include the cardstock material of the front-facing layer 24 a and a rear-facing layer 24 b . Eliminating the cardstock materials in these areas permits tabs 51 to more easily be received in holes 49 .
- the lack of cardstock materials in these areas allows the resilient foam material of the attached pieces to be interlocked.
